What is the religiously agreed-upon name among scholars for what is known as the State of Israel?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no agreed-upon name for this illegitimate state. Naming it "Israel" is an transgression against the noble name of Israel (Jacob, peace be upon him), which means "Abdullah" (Servant of Allah). A more fitting name for it is "Zionism," because it is a racist political movement that aims to establish a state for Jews in Palestine and to control the world. Its name is derived from "Mount Zion" in Jerusalem.
